Name: Mwezi

Gender: Female

Pride: Jema Pride
Who i am
Description: She is a normal sized lion with dark golden eyes, and a few nicks throughout both her ears. She has a unique black stripe of risen fur flowing down her back following the line of her spine. Her brown rosettes still plague her legs, but are beginning to fade slightly. Her pelt is covered in scars and wounds from battles with Bayas or training to battle them sooner or later.
Life Left Behind: During cub-hood, Mwezi had a best friend whom she loved and treasured most and above all things, even her own family, his name, was Sitawi. Born into the same pride as her, although he was a year older. They were always together, inseparable, as if connected at the hip. Wherever he went, she followed and whatever he did so did she and just as well. Nothing could ever come close in comparison to the friendship they had with one another, for it was too deep for words to begin to explain. Mwezi and Sitawi shared something together very few would ever experience in their whole life time.
One fateful day the two had a fight, although she could not understand many aspects of the argument, she let him be, and for once, went off on her own. When the sun died and dusk faded into the dark night, she stood motionless in shock, paralyzed in place upon a slight hill. Mwezi witnessed the horrific slaughter of her whole family. As night fell, so did silence across the land and corpses of her pride. Her eyes filled with tears, and her heart filled with hatred and disbelief for she soon discovered it was Sitawi who caused the massacre and their deaths. She fled into the Jema pride lands and till this day, never forgave him. She blames herself for standing there helpless to her pride, and at times wishes Sitawi would have taken her life instead. She will forever hold hatred in her soul for Sitawi, until he serves the punishment of death... or the day she kills him herself...
My Understanding: Mwezi is strong in every sense of the word. She loves to wrestle around with bigger older lions to prove herself, and take down larger prey then normally expected of one her age. She is the night owl of all lions, loving the dark and using it to her advantage by training herself in stealth and battle tactics. A true warrior at heart, she will defend protect and fight without a second thought if need be. Deep inside she feels partially responsible for letting her pride die, although she couldn't have made any difference then anyway. To rid her mind of guilt, if only for a moment, she puts herself through pain-staking tormentive training to become stronger. Knowing once she is strong enough to hunt and take down Sitawi; and only after his blood has been shed, would the forever heavy burden of being too weak to save her pride lift off the young lionesses shoulders...
Likes: Full moons, the dark, and to fight.
Dislikes: Lairs, being deceived, feeling weak, and hates Sitawi
